Identification &Amp; Authenticity
The Dial Is Signed Citizen, Automatic And 21 Jewels.
The Movement Is Identified As Citizen Cal. 8200A, A 21-Jewel Automatic Mechanical Movement With
Day-Date Functionality And A Frequency Of 21,600 Vph.
The Supplied Six-Digit Serial Number Is 510514. Under The Commonly Documented Citizen Serial-
Number Convention, The First Digit Represents The Final Digit Of The Production Year And The Following
Two Digits Indicate The Month. Accordingly, 510514 Indicates January Of A Year Ending In 5.
Citizen'S 8200 Series Had A Long Production Life, Meaning The Serial Number Alone Does Not
Conclusively Establish The Decade. Six-Digit Serials Are Associated With Later 8200-Series Production,
And Documented Examples Using This Numbering Format Can Date To The 1980S And Later. On The
Available Evidence And Period Configuration, This Watch Is Catalogued Conservatively As Circa January
1985 Rather Than Treating 1985 As Independently Authenticated.
No Original Purchase Documentation, Service Records Or Manufacturer Authentication Accompany The
Watch.
